The main issue is that RN made those European elections into a national matter by only talking about internal matters while other parties talked about Europeans matters, by dissolving the parliament and setting new elections in 3 weeks Macron is basically giving a headstart to the far right.
Why doesn’t he just dissolve the Republic and become Macronleon?
But most importantly, why every time I see Macron’s pictures he’s always accompanied by that lady, does he have special needs or something?
I mean to be fair I know a Parliament led by the RN will be a shitshow, but can you really be mad at a president that calls for new elections when his own party barely got even half of the votes of the main opposition party ? From a purely democratic perspective it was the right thing to do : Your citizens clearly show to be fed up with your party so you call for new elections.
And the left is being very hypocritical. They were asking themselves for new elections a year ago but know suddenly they don’t want to. So “we want new elections, but only when the polls are in our favour”?
Tbf, many left-wing politicians approved Macron’s decision. On TF1, last night, Manon Aubry and Olivier Faure were fine about it. Sandrine Rousseau bitched on Macron and perfectly fits your meme though.
Dont you have fixed shedule elections in france?
I mean it’s simple: You’re having the majority according to polls => Call for election, because you will gain power
If you’re behind according to polls or elections like this one => Don’t call for election because you’ll lose.
That’s why I think the germans wont get new elections because they know that the AFD is the second biggest party and the current one won’t be in the next government
From someone who has no contact at all with french politics (thank god) macron comes across really well on a global stage. Can someone fr*nch tell me what he’s done to be so unpopular other than the country hating whoever is in charge (immigration like every other european leader?)
Correct decision according to his principles.
I’m a big non-French Macron supporter, I feel like he’s the only leader in Europe that balances between idealism and pragmatism effectively. Le Pen seems awful, Melenchon seems even more awful. They’re popping champagne in Beijing and Moscow tonight. No matter who replaces Macron, it will be an anti-west lapdog of the east.
What’s good is that legislative and presidential elections will stop happening at the same time. Which means new presidents will have to behave a bit more to have a chance keeping parliament majority.

‘Unpopular technocratic leader calls early elections to try and head off electoral threat’
Barry/Pierre unity
Spicy year this one, Pierre.
So true, as a left support I don’t understand the happiness behind the dissolution of the parliament
How democracy is supposed to work according to the left:
